'The Voice' Season 24 judge Gwen Stefani calls her decision 'not fair' as she sides with Ruby Leigh

After listening to Ruby sing, Gwen Stefani couldn't believe that a 16-year-old was performing on the stage. She said, "Just the way your presence is on stage, just didn't look like a teenager, you didn't sound like a teenager."

Gwen confessed that she had "chills up and down" her body as she listened Ruby sing. The coach dubbed her performance to be "stunningly perfect." 

She then made her decision, "I would say Ruby in some ways but that's not fair because Al Boogie you are amazing."

John Legend counted reasons why Ruby Leigh was better than Al Boogie in 'The Voice' Season 24 Battles

John Legend believes both singers, Al and Ruby, were compelling and they made their best effort to connect to the song. He then went on to claim why Ruby was everyone's pick in the Battles round and not Al.

John claimed Al was one chair turn and Ruby was a 4 chair turn contestant. He added, "Two (2nd reason), because you are singing a song that's about being a woman scorned, you don't exactly look the part."

John went on to accept that inclination was all pointing towards Ruby.
